If In Life

To enjoy what we have if is joy,
Waiting for what we’ve not too is joy.

One plus one makes two, tells a maths rule, 
Minus one makes lonely, says life’s school.

In life’s play, I know one close that came, 
What if that same someone plays foul game?

In life if everyone’s not found friendly,
Where you find a sea not so salty?

If life’s spent in endless search of joys,
We forget to grow past boyhood toys.
